They Paid for Our Freedoms – v2

Our faith informed, infused
with the sacrifice of so many;
they paid for our freedoms
that we would believe.

Christ as the center
giving His own life;
come as a sacrifice
that we would be free of sin.

So many others,
the saints before us;
sacrificing so much
that the message would not be lost.

Faithful servants
down to this age;
sharing the hope of Christ
that all would know God.

Paying dearly
an awful cost;
they paid for our freedoms
that we would not be lost.

Honor them ever
starting with our Savior;
conforming our lives
to those who have gone before.
